The most imitated skater ever? Everything this guy did was just classic. From the chain wallet to the hunched over style...makes you wonder where he would be at if he kept going. The last trick of his Plan B career was a 540 caballerial..which we just saw in the new Girl/Chocolate trailer..hmmm..

Wouldn't mind stopping by the Flying Elephant next time I'm in SD..

Kind of a rushed deal, but this might have been the funnest post I've ever done.

Repost from.. I don't know, few years ago I guess. Early Cardiel stuff really had an impact on me. Dude just went for it so hard. Crazy that I live in the same town as him now and have come across him a few times.. My buddy that I go skate with all the time did physical therapy with him after being shot head in the head twice (yes, you read that correctly). Trip out on that..
